I'm glad to hear someone else that sings the praises of Capital Lux. I sometimes feel like the only person that has ever even heard of it, but I bring it up all the time when able.

We should start a fan club/ support group. Equally exciting to hear that other people recognize how amazing the game is and depressing to realize how many people do not even know it exists! 😂

I just love your enthusiasm and how you edify a game. Already looking up some you have mentioned. Have been looking at Village Green since I have seen many comments lately on this game.

Greetings from Germany. I just recently rediscovered boardgaming as an exciting hobby, especially for solo play. I'm very thankful for your knowledgeable, charismatically presented recommendations! Can't wait to check some of the games of this list out.

Hey, that's awesome; welcome (back)!! Feel free to reach out anytime if you have questions/ want to talk games. :)

@@tabletoptokki I really appreciate that you share these boardgaming gems with all of us. My favorite game this year is definitely Railroad Ink. It has become a daily routine for me to play at least a game or two of it (most of the time deep blue or lush green edition) and I can't wait to try out all the expansion packs. I also enjoy Aeon's End, Under Falling Skies, Cartographers and One Deck Dungeon: Forest of Shadows. Because of your helpful and entertaining videos I already preordered the reprints of Set A Watch, Lux Aeterna and Village Green (all three games are currently sold out in my country) and will definitely back the crowdfunding campaign for a translated version of Capital Lux 2 Generations. Thanks again! I look forward to many more videos from you :)

[@tabletoptokki]

@@Meltemor That's so awesome to hear about the preorders! I hope they arrive in a timely manner. And yay for fellow Railroad Ink junkies!!! 🤭 I definitely need to get my hands on a copy of Aeon's End. It's one I keep hearing about and it sounds right up my alley!

[@mattyweaves]

Great video! I always default to Fleet the Dice Game as my favorite solo (it was my first one) so besides that, Tussie Mussie (w/expansion), Nusfjord, Glass Road, Herbaceous Sprouts, and Trails of Tucana. Cartographers is also a favorite but you mentioned that already!

[@MichaliSarris]

Great list, I already got a few games you recommended (because of your recommendations also): Orchard, Village Green and Capital Lux 2 and I'm loving them so far. The last one I've still to try but read the rulebook and I'm very intrigued. Can't wait to try it out soon. As my pick I'd say you have to try Spirit Island if you haven't tried it out yet. Quite a heavy and brain burning game, so it might not suit you, but it's by far my favorite game I've played to date and every time I play I'm blown away. Takes a few plays to get a handle on it but when it clicks there no way back.

[@tabletoptokki]

Haven't got to play it as much as I'd like since my solo board game time is limited, but I do love Spirit Island! Have played it a few times with friends, but a lot of my friends prefer competitive modes. I'd imagine that once I get a sense of each individual spirit, trying to play two spirits at once solo will be an awesome time! Do you have any recommendations for spirits that combo well together??? :)

[@MichaliSarris]

@@tabletoptokki Happy to hear you love Spirit Island too! When I play it solo I always play dual Spirit, then you can match up ones to try how the combination works and it's very fun (and sometimes a bit stressful but I like that in this game). A few combinations that I like are Vital Strength which can spread a lot of defense around the island and Thunderspeaker which can move Dahan easily to maximize returned attacks from Dahan to the invaders on defended lands. Ocean who has a very strong control over Coastal lands combined with Lure of The Deep Wilderness, who's the same but for inlands. Then Shifting Memory of Ages together with Volcano Looming High, Keeper of the Forbidden Wilds together with Many Minds Move as One, and going for a fear victory with Bringer of Dreams and Nightmares together with Shroud of Silent Mist. Lots of cool things to explore, I try to keep raising the difficulty level of the adversaries and it gets more fun (and tense) with the close call victories or defeats. The other day I had a fear victory with no invader card left and only one blight on the blight card. I think I cleared 3 fear cards in the last turn, when all game I had the feeling it was going to be impossible to win (due to the perfect storm in starting conditions for the invaders).

[@tabletoptokki]

Oh man, this is awesome!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to share, as it'll definitely give me a good place to start off with for combo-ing spirits. :DDDD And geeeeez that sounds like a close call! 😅

Hello! First time viewer here, but I love your vibe and personality and these look like great recommendations, so consider me a new fan and subscriber!

Capital Lux 2 and Paper Tales are two of the newest additions to my collection so I’m very pleased to see them included! Also, Hit Z Road is a game I’ve known has been around for some time but I’d never really considered getting (I’m a little zombied out tbh). I’m glad you brought it to my closer attention though as it looks charming in a way apocalyptic shambling undead games don’t really have any right to be. If you don’t mind answering, does it lean into the gore or visual horror zombie material generally leans into? That might be what determines whether I ever get my wife to look at it twice. One thing that I wondered while watching the addendum you inserted before the list proper began: would you consider making a list of your favorite fan-made variants? How about PnPs? Keep up the great work! Your videos make me happy, and your enthusiasm and joy are truly contagious, so thank you for sharing them!

Evaluation before I watch your last 2 games... with questions btw. You are indeed encompassed into game play mechanics. You are young relatively if you speak of Unearth as an old game that you still bring out. With your knowledge of game mechanics would you please play and review older games that you do/not enjoy and how you would make them better? Pretty please. Stay honest and deliver it as cruel as you see it. One of the problems I see today with game mechanics is... cough couch; I think I may have the covid. Evolution does not have to happen is a relative state of mind starts at any point (my opinion).

[@tabletoptokki]

Absolutely! Since I'm just starting out, my main focus is on sharing really stellar games that haven't had as big of a spotlight shown on them. With the time it takes to make each video and the number of amazing games out there, I enjoy getting the word out about games that deserve more love and I'll leave the rest to the pros. I'm sure in due time I'll make my way through that list towards games that may have some areas for improvement, but I think we're a ways away. (good problem to have 😅) Always down to chat games if there are any you'd like to hear/share opinions about though!

Do you need the original Capital Lux to get 2?

[@tabletoptokki]

Nope! Capital Lux 2: Generations includes all of the original content of Capital Lux as well as a lot of new faction powers. :)

[@drakenrytder7655]

OMG! Cartographers... no spoilers. People today only understand that word because of this game or are of an age of map making days. (Excluding gps maps btw).

Glad this game is bringing people back up to speed on their knowledge of the English language. 😂

[@ceebee1461]

Oh no. I shouldn’t have watched this. I’ve already ordered Under Falling Skies and Hit Z Road, and I haven’t even finished the video.

[@tabletoptokki]

Ahahaha well hopefully by now you've had a chance to play them! Happy gaming! 😊

Nice list, not a fan of the BYOS soloing versions

[@tabletoptokki]

Yeah, the mechanics are the main focus for me, but it's definitely a bit disheartening when there isn't a clear "win" condition. Nova Luna was one I love and enjoy solo, but the lack of real "scoring" at the end prevented me from choosing it for this list. :x

[@mabos555]

For me it's the other way, I feel that solo for scoring and just improving yourself from game to game is just like doing a test over and over again to get to 100, and then what? Nothing happens :) For me the main focus is if I can add or remove something and the game will be changed entirely and mission based like the games of superhot, any oniverse game, micro city, after the virus, hero realms etc :)

[@tabletoptokki]

@@mabos555 Ah the Oniverse games are great like that! All the mini expansions add so much flavor & the fact that you can combine any or all of them is really great! I have Micro City on my shelf of shame currently... really have to get around to playing that one.... :D

[@mabos555]

@@tabletoptokki Yeah, any puzzle game that I can add or subtract or even just switch to a new mode is great But no minis for me haha :)
